KTM RC 200 OVERVIEW & PRICE

KTM has updated the fully-faired RC 200, giving it an aggressive paint scheme. It comprises black and orange paint along with bold graphics on the fairing. Apart from this, the motorcycle remains the same visually. It gets a dual-LED projector headlamp at the front with LED DRLs that give it a distinctive look. The sleek 9.5-litre fuel tank merges well into the upswept tail section, which houses a split-seat setup.

The RC 200’s trellis frame continues to house a 199cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected motor that is now BS6-compliant. However, the power figures remain the same, and it continues to churn out 25bhp and 19Nm of torque. It rides on inverted forks up front and a mono-shock at the rear. Meanwhile, the braking hardware consists of a 300mm disc up front and a 230mm disc at the end with dual-channel ABS as standard.

The bike gets an LED tail-lamp and turns indicators, back-lit switchgear, and fully digital instrumentation, though it is an LCD unit, unlike the TFT screen seen on the 390 Duke. Twin-projector headlights do a good job, and the BS6 version now features dual-channel ABS, compared to the BS4 bike’s single-channel system.

The same fully-faired look has grown familiar over the last six years. The new BS6 versions are the graphics schemes and colour combinations on offer. The bike features a sculpted appearance, with the highlights being the twin projector headlights up front, underbelly exhaust system and a sharp, steeply-rising tail section. This RC 200 bike weighs 160 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 9.5 litres. The current ex-showroom KTM RC 200 price is ₹ 2,17,696.

About KTM Bikes

Home > KTM > KTM RC 200

An Austrian engineer Johann TrunkenpolzIn in 1934, set up an unregistered shop named Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz Mattighofen which initially dealt with car repairing and later began selling DKW motorcycles and Opel cars in 1937. Later in 1953, the company was renamed and registered as Kronreif & Trunkenpolz Mattighofen (KTM) by businessman Ernst Kronreif, the company’s major shareholder.

From 2012, KTM was the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Europe for four consecutive years. KTM has its brand values in its purity, performance, adventure, and extreme circumstances. Globally, the company is among the leading off-road motorcycle manufacturers.

The Bajaj – KTM partnership began in 2007 when Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV picked up a 14.5% stake in KTM Power Sports AG and launched the brand in India. BAIHBV gradually increased its stake to 48% in the upcoming years. In 2021, the shareholding was simplified when BAIHBV swapped 46.5% of its holding to gain a 49.9% stake in PTW Holding AG (the KTM group’s parent company).

KTM entered the Indian market in 2012 when Bajaj Auto increased its stake in KTM from 14.5 per cent to 47 per cent, and it was also the year KTM Duke 200 was introduced in the Indian market. Soon after, when the company started to show positive sales figures, KTM and Bajaj announced that they would develop two new 125cc, 200cc, and 390cc mass-focussed motorcycles.

KTM also owns Husqvarna, the Vitpilen 250, and Svartpilen 250 models, made in India at the Bajaj-KTM plant in Chakan, Pune. Bajaj plays an essential role in the growth prospects for KTM. as KTM models are mass manufactured at Bajaj’s facility in Chakan and then exported to the world. Currently, the KTM produces two travel bikes – KTM 390 Adventure & KTM 250 Adventure, four naked bikes – 390 Duke, 250 Duke, 200 Duke & 125 Duke, and three supersport bikes – RC 390, RC 200 & RC 125.
